Illinois Policy, 8/9/2024
While Chicago’s population increased rapidly in the first half of the 20th century, the population peaked in 1950 at just over 3.62 million residents. Since then, the city population has declined: steadily from 1950-1990, then a fluctuating drop since 1990. 
Currently, Chicago is on a nine-year losing streak. The U.S. Census Bureau has estimated Chicago’s population has declined each year since 2014, losing 128,034 residents.
